In addition to the move, the page now also has an admonition to make it clear that it is a single person's opinion. Other than being an opinion and not an official policy, it doesn't do anything to violate our policies. The wiki has a few different pieces that are based upon opinions, and those opinions are worth sharing. As long as they are relevant, appropriately marked, and not in an inappropriate context, I don't see a problem with allowing them. If anyone feels differently, I welcome discussion. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://www.n-man.com/ Have I been helpful? Rate my assistance! http://rate.affero.net/nman64/ --
